What authentication does the CentOS Pastebin API use?

The CentOS Pastebin API requires no authentication. All endpoints are publicly accessible without API keys or tokens. Through Jentic, agents can discover and call operations without any credential setup.

What programming languages are supported for syntax highlighting?

Call GET /langs to retrieve the full list of supported languages. The endpoint returns language identifiers that you pass as a parameter when creating a paste via POST /create to enable syntax highlighting in the rendered view.

How do I retrieve a paste by its ID?

Call GET /paste/{pasteId} with the paste identifier. The endpoint returns the paste content, language, creation timestamp, and view count. Paste IDs are returned in the response when creating a new paste.

Can I browse trending pastes through the API?

Yes. GET /trending returns pastes ranked by view count, and GET /recent returns pastes in reverse chronological order. GET /random returns a single random paste entry.

How do I create a paste through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a code paste on CentOS' to find the POST /create operation. Load the schema to see the content and language parameters, then execute with your text content. No credentials needed. Install with pip install jentic.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the CentOS Pastebin API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which CentOS Pastebin operations the agent may call. You can allow just POST /create and GET /paste/{pasteId} so the agent can create and fetch pastes, while withholding the browsing operations like GET /recent, GET /trending, and GET /random unless you explicitly add them. Since the API is anonymous and open-access, there is no credential to manage, so scoping comes down to which operations you permit.
